More home than you think! This well-maintained split-level offers two spacious living areas-a living room on the main level and a bright lower-level family room with large windows that provide plenty of natural light. Unlike a ranch with a basement, both living spaces feel open, inviting, and are ideal for everyday living. This is an estate sale, and the home is being conveyed as-is. If you're looking for an entry-level home in Highland Park, this is an excellent opportunity. The property features a deep lot and has been well cared for over the years. Major mechanical updates include the roof and furnace (2020), water heater (2009).
